I think it was just silicone grease with a different label though.

Thanks for the responses chaps - I've seen the "problem fitting your hose?" products but I really want something that will stop corrosion (like Duralac).
I've banged an email off to Hylomar to see if they can help. If I come up trumps I'll post back.
(Bit dodgy saying trump these days of course - not a political comment at all honest gov!)
